Hi Jose,

Thanks for the clarifications.

I will try to add missing V4L formats

 - 8/10/12/16 bits RGB 4:4:4

MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB888_1X24
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB101010_1X30 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB121212_1X36 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB161616_1X48 (to be added)

 - 8/10/12/16 bits YCbCr 4:4:4

MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUV8_1X24
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUV10_1X30
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUV12_1X36 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUV16_1X48 (to be added)

 - 8/10/12 bits YCbCr 4:2:2

MEDIA_BUS_FMT_UYVY8_1X16
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_UYVY10_1X20
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_UYVY12_1X24

 - 8/10/12/16 bits YCbCr 4:2:0

Jose, how is supposed to be transmitted 4:2:0 over the controller ?

Amlogic uses clock doubling to transmit 4:2:0 in CrYCb format.

I assume, the transmission is in YYUYYV format in 2x clock.

So the formats should be (aligned on the MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV8_1_5X8) :

MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV8_1_1X24 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV10_1_1X30 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV12_1_1X36 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV16_1_1X48 (to be added)

to have the following transmissions scheme :

uuuuuuuu/yyyyyyyy/yyyyyyyy
vvvvvvvv/yyyyyyyy/yyyyyyyy

Can you confirm this ?
